Wow wow she deserves it
Weird stuffs trending lately, lol take a look at the cap from chair material. I think Churches should start recognising these heroines with Godly title if theres any before we loose them to fetish schemes. I remember Thomas Partey dilemma started after accepting this recognition for qualifying Ghana against Nigeria. They hide behind tradition and award you a problem. I don’t believe there’s anything Good from people that have ties with gods. Moderator if you hide this truth the judgement of God will locate you. Dare God!
You mumu ehn! So our own long aged African tradition and cultural way of honouring warriors (in this sense, on the football pitch) is demonic why the white man imported tradition is Godly? Smh… better free yourself from mental slavery oo… idiot
